I remember coming across a wire back in 2005 that I couldn’t figure out at first. Turned out it was an abandoned telegraph wire. Probably been taken down by now.

When they ‘revived’ Superman didn’t he ‘go crazy’ trying to locate a phone booth in ‘modern’ Gotham City?
As to gist of article, just another ‘nail in the coffin’ of my yute....

I remember coming across a wire back in 2005 that I couldnt figure out at first. Turned out it was an abandoned telegraph wire. Probably been taken down by now. I've seen them along railroad rights-of-way. Old telephone poles leaning this way and that, glass insulators on top the color of Coke bottles or maybe some shade of blue, copper wire turned green by years and exposure to the elements wrapped around them, the wires sometimes connecting poles, sometimes snapped and lying slack in the weeds like green spaghetti.

I was talking to a young man in a hotel, he was from NYC, and loved the Jets. I told him how I had spent time years ago, in NYC with the backup QB to Joe Namath, I didn’t expect him to know of Al Woodall, but he had no idea who Joe Namath was, LOL.

Those were cool, but a little cramped at times:

The U.S. government is scrapping rules on telegraphs Could be a bad move... the porn industry could use telegraphs to distribute porn to underage minors if we don't keep them regulated.
To: Fungi
Was any money saved and people enforcing said regulations let go?
Well, the Director of the Morse Code Authentication Board was reassigned to the Typewriter Ribbon Standards Oversight Division, if that helps.

Alright! (They were really classics, and it's sad to see them go, except of course for the ones in certain neighborhoods, where some individuals thought they were the men's room. Not long ago, someone posted an article talking about how in some deep and profound ways, it is more satisfying to read an actual physical book than an e-book on a machine, or to talk on a solid, classic, landline phone, rather than a flimsy little cell phone, and I think they made some good points there.)

Least was used to boost octake and also lubricated valves.
Can you link documentation to support your post?

(And regarding the nail in the coffin of our yute --- we all probably just say "sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh".) :-)

Not as sad as I, it was nearly 2 million in business, moved to Mehico.
To: Cementjungle
I don't see how they could get out of that one. They're probably still stuck in there! :-)
To: raybbr
the author is somewhat dismayed that they would get rid of rules for a technology no longer in use. Sorta like newspapers.

It was a bad idea then and it is a bad idea now. Your pendantic lecture and sighing added no usefull knowledge the current debate about the government forcing us to buy a product we do not need or want and transferring our wealth to its producers.
The use of leaded has did not poison the entire planet with lead. The ill effects of increases in aromatics and other pollutants has been ignored. The ill effects of ethanol and its production have been ignored.
Shill for the enthanol lobby on some other forum.
